Cornelia Wallace, 34, the beautiful second wife of Alabama's Governor George Wallace, likes to drive fast, so fast, in fact, that she recently joked to a nonplussed Dick Cavett, they had to "put a governor on me."

...because he is still a prolific writer, and one who experiments with different media. In addition to a dozen plays, he wrote the screenplay for the eminently forgettable Strawberry Statement and another less financially successful film, plus television scripts for two NET programs, including VD Blues, narrated by Dick Cavett. He is now working on a trilogy of plays; the first part called Alfred the Great, premiered two weeks ago in Pittsburgh...
